The walls that surround the fortress had been built during the Chosun dynasty in 1397, when Japan invaded Korea.
After 300 years around 1626, it was renovated and has since then been protecting the city for around 700 years.
Furthermore, CNN chose the fortress as one of the 16 places to visit around the world,
proving that Suncheon Nagan Eupseong Fortress is one of the most representative areas of South Korea.
